A background browser for your agents, and fixes.
Background browser (GitHub version)
- Turn on Settings → Background browser: agents get a browser inside Buddy (Chromium, about 300 MB the first time) for web pages: looking things up, comparing prices, checking a page. It doesn't take over your screen and works while the phone is locked.
- Watch it live in the chat, or full screen with an address bar, and use it yourself. Touching it pauses the agent until you tap Continue.
- Same approvals: Post, Send, Buy, Pay and Delete buttons get Buddy's approval card. Agents never type into password, code or card fields.
- Your part, marked: for a sign-in or a captcha, Buddy opens the browser with the fields and buttons marked, and closes it when you tap Done.
- Signed-in sites lists the sites you signed in to yourself, with Log out; Wipe browser data clears everything.
- More in the user guide.
Fixes
- Stop now holds for its full minute, even while notification rules are waiting.
- Swipes and scrolls get the same safety checks as taps.
- The terminal no longer crashes after rotating the phone or on unusual characters.
Updating
Buddy will tell you about this update (or ask any agent "update yourself"). Otherwise install buddy.apk below over your current Buddy; your chats, settings and sign-ins are kept.
